ABSTRACT:
A vertically oriented image scanning device includes a chassis with a vertically oriented scanning window and a flap cover pivoted to the chassis. A document support flange is formed along a lower edge of the scanning window for aligning a document with respect to the scanning window. A thin metal plate has opposite edges attached to an inner face of the flap cover and forms a convex configuration for elastic deformation and thus applies a force to retain the document against the scanning window. The convex configuration also helps guide the document into position. Alternatively, a resilient pad replaces the thin metal plate for applying a force to the document.
